For four decades, a quiet boundary in pure mathematics kept a powerful theorem locked inside the safe world of finite quantities. Now a new result known as Sebestyen’s theorem has pushed that boundary ...

A classic math rule now handles infinity. New work strengthens the math behind physics and unbounded systems. % ...

In Math, we often talk of how a function behaves as a variable approaches limits at infinity. That is, if we let “x” take on larger and larger values, what happens to the value of “y” it creates? It ...

Cheng (How to Bake π), a scientist in residence at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago and honorary fellow at Sheffield University, tackles some difficult concepts in this superb study of the ...

athematics is, at its core, an art. Like painters, musicians or writers, mathematicians create and explore new worlds. They ...

Infinite is a concept that means "there is no limit" as it reads, but it is difficult to understand its contents with the head rather than reading in a letter. Computer programmer Mark Jason Dominus ...
